No More Bad Love

You Don't Know Me

You don't know me
You don't know what I had go through
You see where I am
But you haven't seen what it took me to get here

You don't see the nights I cried myself to sleep
Or the times want it all just be over
You can't see what I lost on my way here
You keep just saying how easy my life is

Easy
It has never been easy
I make it look easy
I make Hell looking like a Heaven

I hide the pain, struggle and everything else
It ain’t like you would care
No you just want easy targets to hit me more
To bring me down

You don't want to see me success
Because you can't success
No I'm not to be blamed for that
That is on you
You need to put the hard work and do it for yourself
No one will give it to you

No one didn't give it to me
Lot of people did try to stop me
Told me stop
Told how ridiculous my dreams were
How none of it was meant for me

No matter what everyone said
I knew deep inside me
It was for me
It will be for me
And next one who tries to keep me from it
Will find out why it wasn't good idea

I'm done playing nice
I'm done making myself small
Stop shining so others would be more comfortable
No more that

I will shine bright like sun
I don’t care about others insecurities
That is their own job to fix those issues
Not mine responsibility
Never again

It is time to show who I am
No you don't know me
You might know my name
Just wait when you can't escape seeing it everywhere
I'm not stopping
This is just the beginning

You're welcome to stalk my next chapter
But you will never be part of my success
You will never again be part of my life
Viper can't ever be a good friend
So no you don't know me and you never will
